Chapter 1070: Chapter 990: The Holy Land in the Hearts of the Human Race at Heaven and Earth Lake—Immortal Sect

Initially, we thought the first battle was truly a great victory, with Covering Heaven Tower utterly defeated, after all, the Immortal Sect had already slain five Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted mighty beings.

Five whole beings!

But who could have imagined that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the invasion army of Covering Heaven Tower into Heaven and Earth Lake, and the true main forces of Covering Heaven Tower had not yet stepped into the Curved Realm Passage.

Seeing this, Pei Wu’s joyous mood vanished in an instant, replaced by a helpless sigh.

Despair.

Truly despairing.

"Brother Pei Wu, how could this happen? How can the Covering Heaven Tower be this powerful? Is it really that Heaven intends to destroy our Heaven and Earth Alliance?"

Bainian Hanshan sighed, looking helplessly at Pei Wu.

Pei Wu frowned, staring at the last paragraph of the article, unable to speak for a long time.

His mind was a bit muddled right now.

No!

It should be said, very muddled!

Compared to just now, his mood was like heaven and earth apart.

While Pei Wu remained silent, the surrounding upper echelon of the Freelancers Pavilion also sighed, and some even frantically flipped the Immortal Daily back and forth several times.

"Twenty-five Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted mighty beings, even if the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect and other Elders are stronger, they likely can’t handle them all alone."

"What is the Covering Heaven Tower after? Why are they so heavily invested in our small Heaven and Earth Lake, going so far as to dispatch such a strong Vanguard Army?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"If they find out that the people who entered the Curved Realm Passage have all been killed by the Immortal Sect’s strong, they will probably charge in immediately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed suddenly.

It’s over!

If those twenty-five Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted mighty beings all rush in...

How can we block them?

This is a road leading to death!

Suddenly, Pei Wu’s expression also changed, and then he exclaimed, "What did you just say?"

"Subordinate said, ’If they find out that the people who entered the Curved Realm Passage have all been killed by the Immortal Sect’s strong, they will probably charge in immediately!’"

The high-ranking member of the Freelancers Pavilion was taken aback, not knowing why the Alliance Leader was asking about what he had just said at such a moment?

Was there something wrong with that statement?

A mistake in wording?

Or was it too alarmist?

Did this statement not please the Alliance Leader?

While he was anxious, Pei Wu suddenly burst into laughter, leaving everyone around him puzzled, and they were at a loss.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Pei Wu laughed six times in succession.

Bainian Hanshan quickly asked, "Brother Pei Wu, is this joy or pain?"

Pei Wu, beaming with joy, replied, "Of course, it’s joy. The Immortal Sect has achieved a great victory; how could I, Pei Wu, not be happy?"

"A great victory?"

Bainian Hanshan was stunned.

The others were also stunned in succession.

Pei Wu glanced at the bewildered expressions of everyone and then explained with a smile, "You just look at this article and think back to yesterday. According to the article, the battle in the Curved Realm Passage ended quite quickly, no more than half an hour at most."

"This!" Bainian Hanshan suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes! The Sect Leader and the others rushed into the Curved Realm Passage yesterday morning, which means the battle ended in the morning. In the following time, why didn’t other mighty beings of the Covering Heaven Tower charge in and avenge the fallen Vanguard Army of Covering Heaven Tower?"

"Smart!" Pei Wu burst into laughter, "They didn’t fail to notice; I bet they knew the moment their Vanguard Army was annihilated, but something happened afterward that made them dare not enter the Curved Realm Passage! The article in the Immortal Daily isn’t the complete Chapter of this battle but merely a small prelude!"

"And who wrote this article so shamelessly, leaving it incomplete, keeping us in suspense. Couldn’t they just write out the entire process of this battle at once?"

Bainian Hanshan was very upset.

The others also understood what the two were implying.

The gloomy expressions like dark clouds dissipated immediately with Bainian Hanshan’s complaint.

Pei Wu then pulled out a Sound Transmission Stone.

Contacting Long Yue!

The moment the Sound Transmission Stone connected, Pei Wu was about to ask if Long Yue had read the Immortal Daily when he heard a voice from the other side.

"Sister, is it appropriate to keep me in suspense like this? Can’t you tell me completely what happened yesterday? Those 25 Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted mighty beings, what happened to them? Are they dead, or were they scared by the Sect Leader into not daring to enter the Curved Realm Passage?"

After saying this, another sentence followed.

"Pei Wu, if you have something, wait until I return!"

Then the Sound Transmission Stone went silent.

Pei Wu laughed wryly.

Everyone who heard this couldn’t help but smile.

It turned out they were not the only ones tortured by the incomplete story.

Even Elder Long Yue, a core high-level member of the Immortal Sect, was tormented by it.

"Suddenly it doesn’t feel so bad."

Pei Wu laughed.

Bainian Hanshan also stood with hands behind his back and smiled, "Same here."

After that, the two put away the Immortal Daily and continued commanding the army to retreat to the rear, while also publicly sharing their discovery.

Close to ten million people cried out in the wilderness.

All clamoring to meet this article writer.

To let him know under what circumstances a knife turns red!

Fortunately, the Immortal Daily concluded with a statement — that’s it for today, see you tomorrow, which comforted everyone somewhat.

Isn’t it just tomorrow?

We can wait!

If there isn’t a satisfactory answer tomorrow...

We will definitely give a warm greeting in our hearts to that writer!

Just like that, after the Heaven and Earth Alliance army retreated from the Curved Realm Passage, they set up camp, constructed fortifications at the designated location, and waited for the arrival of the next day.

That night, everyone endured with great difficulty.
